To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But I have come and loved for no false bloom Of sickly perfume that must clasp and twine. But rather that these empty seas give room For the wide clamor of the struggling brine, Where men have drunk its perils like a wine And wrought with strength against it and their doom.
For here is waged the grim perpetual strife Against the sea, since first the Greeks of old Made servants of its passions fierce and rife, Using its very fury with the bold Resistance against mastery, where is told The tale o...f will and effort, which is life. 18 Untameable and fetterless and free Flash the dark waters still their storm-spires pale. As might has been, their might shall ever be; And the shore mourns her loss with many a wail. Yet trembling, and triumphant, shall avail Man s hand upon the fierce throat of the sea.
What little foothold circled with the flood Has been his fortress ! In the white-walled town Stretched low along the harbor he has stood, Where hillside vineyards to the shore come down, Green vines, and olives, silver-gray and brown, Like blossoms of the island s meager blood ; And heard the calling wind sweep over him, And felt the intense strong sweetness of the foam ; And marveled where the sunset red and dim Burned low along the west, where waves that roam Lift here and there a sharp crest on the rim Of sea and sky ; and turned and sought his home ; Till when, at cold flush of the morning light, He loosens sail and sees the rent waves strain, Fulfilled with all their strength and their delight In struggle, though the guerdon shall be vain, Fares forth to seek, and in the end to gain, The final calm of stardrift and the night.
